Our Goats

2012 was our first year kidding goats - and what an awesome experience it was. Pictured above was our chief sire - Zeus - a purebred, registered Boer buck. He produced beautiful kids his first year with us - 14 doelings and 10 bucklings out of 12 does! We grew our herd for two years and had well over 100 goats but then were forced to get out of goats for a bit so are excited to be starting back into the business with a new and clean/closed herd.

This year (2017) we so far have just over a dozen Boer/Kiko cross does and doelings...some of which have a touch of Spanish...which kidded for us - such fun! And keeping our eyes open for more girls from other closed herds!

Playful kids!

The most fun thing to watch in the spring: the kids!! They have so much energy and love to jump and run....and climb! Of course, all this exploring involves getting their heads stuck: in fences, in bale feeders and pretty much anywhere they can find!! It doesn't take long to recognize that special 'yell' when they need your help!

As with all our animals, we want to ensure we stay up to date on the news in the industry. As such, we are members of both the Alberta Goat Breeders' Association as well as the Canadian Meat Goat Association (links below).
